Hi :

Things have been a bit hectic around here since H. Jeanne. DH had an appointment with the Neurologist about his back pain which transfers to his hip, and that appt. was changed due to the storm. Then my test was done and I got the news that surgery is pending. One polyp wasn't a nice one. And this was just a routine colonoscopy. But everything was found early enough so that forseeing some unknown problem, all should go well. Just have to get it out of there.It does mean a few changes in my life for a few weeks.
Siwa: Sounds like you had a great trip. Maybe the leaves won't turn too much since this has been such a wierd summer all over the place. Were you able to salvage any of your tomatoes.
I have made the Angel Macaroons twice now. The first time I made them too big. The second time they were just right, and I even got about 10 more than the 6 doz. I have passed out that recipe to a lot of people since they sampled them. The 2nd time I couldn't find a 7oz. pkg. of coconut, and could only get a 10oz. one. So I put in the whole thing, and I liked it better as it had that much more coconut in it.

Candice: I hate to think of frost. We are now having nice weather. A bit cooler as we begin to get into the fall season. It is very pleasant - the kind of weather I like. Hope you are doing well, and not over-doing. I think that you often push yourself, and then have to pay for it with aches and pains.
What do you think of that diagnosis from Dr. Lizzie?

I keep wondering what has happened to Bernice and Alice, and Kate. I never had any email addresses, so can't try to make contact that way. How about you gals - do you have new email addresses?

I'll keep you posted as to what, when and where , when I get the news. Ann

See You All On #11

Now after I said that I can't remember how to start a new thread. It's been so long since I've done it and the site has changed since then so.........it's up to someone else. But whoever it is, please remind me how to do it.

ANN--When is your surgery scheduled? Are you telling us that a polyp was malignant? What kind of surg are you facing? It's good to know those macaroons are making the rounds. RE:TOMATOES Was I able to salvage a few? is an understatement by far!! There were several waiting for us on the counter when we arrive home. Many more on the vine that we picked AND then it threatened to freeze one nite so we picked ALL and we ended up with 4 huge bowls of tomatoes--4 kinds. We're down to 3 bowls now since I declared it was mandatory that we all eat tomatoes at all 3 meals every day. The mild lingering fall weather made up for a cold August.

We're going to our cabin tomorrow for a few days to see if the leaves have changed yet. Seems like they're changing around here a lot. Predictions are coming in for our winter and one weather man predicts 74 inches of snow. 55 is normal. To top that we may not go south this year. Will NOT leave DS in charge of the house again. Don't need that stress. That makes a good argument for townhouse living but just not ready to give up the garden.

Siwa: I found the secret, so go to #11. Ann
